• Entertainment Weekly "Must List" party. Gotham Hall, 1356 Broadway, nr. 36th St., 7:30 p.m. Among the Musts scheduled to attend: Lily Allen, Ron Livingston, Kal Penn, Aasif Mandvi, Nate Robinson, and more. We try to keep things positive around here at Party Town, but let's face the facts: "Must List" is a terrible name. It doesn't make sense, it's hard to pronounce, and it suggests that there are certain things that people "must" be doing besides preparing for the coming war against the robots, which is just not good planning.

• Public Theater gala performance of Romeo & Juliet. Delacorte Theater, nr. Central Park W. and 81st St., 6 p.m. Expected guests at tonight’s show (which stars Oscar Isaac and Lauren Ambrose) include Tony Kushner, Mike Nichols, Eric Bogosian, and a bajillion famous actors. In other words, the Romeo & Juliet cast are performing what may be the most famous roles in Western history to a private audience of the world’s most accomplished theater professionals. It's like distributing loaves and fishes to Jesus.

• Magnum Photos: Muhammad Ali event. 401 Projects, 401 West St., nr. Charles St., 7 p.m. Presented by Claiborne. Michael J. Fox hosts (the “Magnum Festival” will raise money for Parkinson's research); expected guests include Mark Seliger, Heidi Klum, and Damon Dash. Per Google Maps, various parts of the shore-hugging road on Manhattan's West Side are known alternately as West Street, the West Side Highway, the Joe DiMaggio Highway, the Henry Hudson Parkway, Tenth Avenue, Eleventh Avenue, and Twelfth Avenue. Why stop there? The freedom to name a stretch of West Side highway, parkway, or avenue should be every New Yorker's birthright.

• "Cartier Celebrates Love" event. The Cartier Mansion, 2 E. 52nd St., nr. Fifth Ave., 6:30 p.m. Expected guests: Elie Wiesel, Spike Lee, Rachel Weisz, Julianne Moore, Djimon Hounsou, Usher, and others. Each of those people are affiliated with a specific charitable cause and Cartier bracelet; every time "their" bracelet is sold, 10 percent of the money goes to the corresponding charity. All of the causes are quite worthy, but it nonetheless seems like Elie Wiesel's at an advantage: Who's going to turn him down?

• Central Park Conservancy Taste of Summer event. Central Park Bandshell, nr. 70th St., 7 p.m. The event is sponsored by the country of Barbados. VIP guests get food from seven of Jean-Georges's restaurants, while the plebes with standard $350 tickets will have to make do samples from Tavern on the Green, Osteria del Circo, and others, just as Marx predicted.

• Sanctuary for Families “Zero Tolerance” benefit. Pier 60, West Side Hwy. nr. 23rd St., 6:30 p.m. Ali Larter and Moby host; Grandmaster Flash D.J.'s. Ms. Larter is famous for wearing a whipped-cream bikini in Varsity Blues. A friend of ours actually persuaded his girlfriend to try this shortly after the movie came out, a fact reported to general adolescent enthusiasm; alas, the clamored-for details turned out to involve impractical prep time, sugar comas, and all-around non-sexiness.

• Council of Fashion Designers of America awards after-party. Marquee, 289 Tenth Ave., nr. 27th St. The host: Diddy. The guests: Bruce Willis, Vanessa Minnillo, Eva Mendes. To promote his upcoming movie, Mr. Willis will arrive via the High Line, leaping off an out-of-control semi-truck full of unstable uranium moments before it crashes into a 747 with a payload of Nazi gold.

• Richard Serra exhibition dinner. MoMA, 11 W. 53rd St., nr. Sixth Ave., 7 p.m. Mr. Serra will be there, of course, along with guests Chuck Close, Brice Marden, Richard Meier, Frank Stella, Agnes Gund, and a vast army of art-world luminaries and philanthropists, including Larry Gagosian, who, in keeping with the spirit of the exhibit, will be lifted into the building by crane.

• The Britannia Ball. Aboard the Queen Mary 2, nr. Bowne St. and Van Bruck St., Red Hook, Brooklyn, 6 p.m. A benefit for BAM and the New York City Opera, the ball will feature a performance by Patti LuPone. CIT Group chairman Jeffrey Peek hosts. Top headline on the CIT Group's homepage? "CIT Completes $512 Million Collateralized Loan Obligation Transaction, First in a Series of Asset Management Initiatives Designed to Leverage CIT's Expanded Origination Platforms." Sounds awesome, but we've heard that Jeffrey Peek doesn't go quite as crazy after completing collateralized-loan- obligation transactions as he used to in college. God, we can't even remember how many times we woke up with hangovers and only the barest memory of all the origination platforms we'd expanded the night before.

• Spring gala for the Kitchen. Puck Building, 295 Lafayette St., nr. Houston St., 6 p.m. Laurie Anderson will be honored, and guests will include her omnipresent beau, Lou Reed, along with the rest of the Underground Socialites: David Bowie, David Byrne, Julian Schnabel et al. Truly, no group in the world knows more about obscure garage bands and high-end hors d'oeuvre than Reed, Bowie, and Byrne.

• Crazy Love premiere. Beekman Theater, 1271 Second Ave., nr. 62nd St., 6 p.m. The documentary is about New Yorkers Burt and Linda Pugach, who got married sixteen years after Burt went to jail in 1959 for jealously throwing acid in Linda’s face. The lovely couple will be there in person along with director Dan Klores, Jimmy Breslin, Mario Cuomo, and Howard Stern. Did any tabloid editors walk out of the newsroom after finishing that story and never come back? It’d be the sensationalism equivalent of retiring the night you won the Super Bowl  after the Acid-Blinding Rage Lovers Reunite, what more could there be?
